I Had a great time on this holiday. Food was fantastic and the walking pace was perfect. The guide was calm and confident and told us about the areas we were in.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top of Mt Toubkal was amazing. The views were great and overall it was a brilliant experience. There was a 60 year woman on our trip and she made it to the top.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ITALY
mostly the friendliness of the small groups makes these holidays so special, with singles, such as myself being so readily integrated into the group, especially an elderly person, such as myself. I felt very privileged to be able to take part in all the activities without (I hope) spoiling things for the others.
Most Inspirational Moment
what I found so inspirational was the organisation was so smooth, everything done as we were promised with friendliness from all quarters. I really felt I had had a holiday when I came home.
Thoughts on Group Leader
very good, always helpful and patient and well organised.
Advice for Potential Travellers
just go along with an open mind.....prepare to be friendly........sometimes things might no go as planned but have a laugh about it and enjoy yourself

FINNISH WILDERNESS WEEK
It was a week of beautiful scenery, good company and experiencing the wonders of winter activities. This was my first winter holiday, and although slighly nervous about some of the activities as I had never done them before, the experience was not a disappointment and was something I would recommend to anyone.
Most Inspirational Moment
The dogsledding was for me, my most inspirational moment, there is no other feeling than being as one with the dogs and seeing scenary that you would not normally see from the road, it was completely mystical. The dogs were great as well albeit some hair-raising moments when I thought I was going to lose control of my sled.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader was very friendly and accomodating. If you ever needed any information, advise or assistance both the group leader and his team were available and would always go the extra mile to help.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Give everything a go... if you are a complete novice like I was then it is easy to want to skip certain activities however the leaders are very supportive, so if you have the money look at the additional activities that you can do like the rock climbing or jet skiing - promise you it will be a great experience!

CYCLING VIETNAM
The whole trip was amazing. The cycling was not too tough but we just went at our own pace when it did become a bit challenging. Take your camera and keep stopping… there’s plenty to take photos of.
Most Inspirational Moment
All of it was excellent.The food throughout was both exciting and well cooked and the accomodation throughout was above expectations. Weather in July was good...not too hot and the rain was fun and refreshing...never cold.One highlight was riding water buffalo. A real laugh a minute. BRILLIANT!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader (Yan) and his co-workers were all of the highest standard. Friendly, informative, attentive and a wealth of knowledge about his country. Superb and could not be better from minute one at the airport to the last sad moment of farewell.
Advice for Potential Travellers
No need for malaria tablets. Take energy bars for the odd snack if you want but Yan kept us fed with loads of snacks and the home made lemon drink was fantastic.

CYCLE THE BACKROADS OF SRI LANKA
This was my second exodus cycling holiday, and it was amazing, luckily we had a great group that enjoyed each others company and occasionally one too many drinks at night. Some of the hotels we lived in was simply awesome, and the food was always great but could get a bit samey but luckily for me i like curry so it was never an issue.The cycling routes were varied and some days were pretty easy but others were tough days in the saddle, regardless though the scenery we cycled through was breath taking every single day.The view of the massive bats circling above the lake in Kandy is something I will never forget, it really was amazing, as was the safari to Yala national park.
Most Inspirational Moment
The day we cycled to the top of NUWAR ELIYA then down to the castle like hotel, I believe this was a 90 km climb from Kandy, you could get the train or you could cycle it and I recommend cycling it. It is a tough day up past some amazing scenery, then up through the tea plantations with tea and cake stops :) and then up and up until after a day in the saddle you reach the sign that says NUWAR ELIYA, that was my most inspirational moment, what a feeling.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader was awesome, always making us laugh and keeping us all to schedule perfectly.
Advice for Potential Travellers
this trip does come with hills so a little bit training in the hills would benifit you and try the local drink arrack, but as a few of us discovered it takes 2 or 3 or maybe 4 to develop a taste for it so dont give up after the first one :)

WALKING IN BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA
A beautiful country, friendly people, lots of history, but sadly still showing the ravages of war. If you’re looking for quiet hills & mountains, this is the place to go.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cooling off on a very hot day in the Neretva river after walking along the Rakitnica Canyon. A breathtakingly beautiful place.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Samir was passionate about his country and sharing the amazing places that so few people (including the locals) actually see. He taught us a lot about the culture of the people and how they are coming to terms with rebuilding the country post the war. He also knew how to have a good time.....not that we needed much encouragement.
Advice for Potential Travellers
When in Dubrovnic, get up really early to enjoy the old town before the crowds and the heat gets too much.

A fantastic holiday, well organized.We had a major problem on the last day and the local Agent was brillient.
Most Inspirational Moment
The trip to the rain forest was majical from the moment we set foot on the moterised canoe - but seeing the Napo Centre from under our rain ponchoes was amaizing . The atmosaphire, accommodation and people at the Centre were all inspirational.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Group leader in the Rain Forest was so enthustatic it was infectious, nothing was too much for her and she was always on the look out for us, made sure everyone saw what she saw!!The Leader in the Galapados was good but lacked the enthusiam.
Advice for Potential Travellers
GoIt is not as warm as you might expect in the GalapagosThe trip to the Cloud Forest was worth going on.Take a safety belt for money especially in Quito.
